Syrian Government Targeting Activists' Computers Via Skype
One anti-government activist received a Skype message and malware attached to it from another who had already been arrested.
F-Secure is reporting the use by the Syrian government of a targeted attack on an anti-government activist's computer with a remote control trojan.
The company received a hard drive image of the infected computer and analyzed it. What they found was not especially sophisticated or even unusual. It was a commercially available remote control trojan program named "Xtreme RAT". See an image of the site below:
